(B) is 70.0% of your monthly Final Average Pay in excess of $800.

Mine does 5% of salary for 1st year; it increases based on years of service.

Ummm, no. Never have and never will.
I do have equity within my company and sometimes there are distributions paid out, but that's about it.

I do not. I would be worried to rely on something out of my control, especially something that could change down the line if company finances change. Give me my 401k contributions and I will take it from there.

Didn't realize so many govt employees on here.

Pensions are actually making a big comeback in private businesses

Yea. If you make the partnership.

Yes I have a pension.
We'll see what Halliburton thinks about that soon enough.

What happens when the company cuts a pension. Is that only effective for current employees (as in if you are still working, you are now on your own for retirement at the drop of a hat), or does it screw over those who are already retired as well? I know my moms company dropped their pension years ago, so she had time to build a 401k. Always seemed much riskier than playing the market in a 401k to me.

Mine does; however if you're not an executive, then it's relatively small.
The real pension starts for the executives. Rumor is that Non-equity executives get something on average in the realm of 150k per year in retirement. Equity partners get something on average in the realm of 500k per year. Those figures are unconfirmed as they don't typically reveal such benefits until you are being vetted for those levels.
Also the figures can vary as it's based on something like your 3-5 highest earning years divided by some figure. Not a bad gig if you can get it.
